In today’s interconnected world, where online threats constantly evolve, protecting digital assets is more critical than ever. With cyberattacks such as phishing and hacking becoming daily concerns for businesses and institutions, the demand for reliable cybersecurity solutions is at an all-time high. One name that consistently rises to meet this challenge is Bitdefender—a global leader in cybersecurity, recently celebrated for a major achievement.
Kecam Technologies Limited, a Lagos-based IT firm, proudly recognizes Bitdefender, its trusted global partner, for being named a “Visionary” in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP)—a prestigious accolade that ranks among the highest in the cybersecurity industry.
Reflecting on this milestone, Bonny Mekwunye, Vice Chairman of Kecam Technologies, shared his excitement. “We’re beyond thrilled to share this news,” Mekwunye said. “Bitdefender’s recognition as a Visionary highlights their excellence and underscores our shared commitment to helping organizations stay ahead of evolving cybersecurity threats.”
Mekwunye further emphasized the success of Bitdefender’s GravityZone platform, which has earned high praise from independent evaluators. “Bitdefender has been a leader in the Forrester Wave for Endpoint Security and the AV-Comparatives Advanced Threat Protection Test. Additionally, it was named a Strong Performer in the Forrester Wave™: Extended Detection and Response Platforms for Q2 2024. This kind of consistent recognition speaks volumes about their capabilities,” he added.
For those unfamiliar with the Gartner Magic Quadrant, it serves as an industry-standard report evaluating the top cybersecurity vendors and scoring them based on how well they execute their vision. According to Gartner, Visionaries are vendors who possess a clear vision of where the market is headed and are actively working to deliver on that vision.
This recognition reflects broader trends in cybersecurity. Gartner predicts that by 2028, 30% of enterprises will consolidate their security tools, relying on a single vendor for endpoint security, detection, and identity threat response—a significant increase from today’s 5%. Bitdefender is already leading this shift with its integrated, seamless security platform.
Bitdefender expressed excitement about the recognition, seeing it as an affirmation of their mission to protect businesses in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
Mekwunye concluded by highlighting Kecam Technologies’ role in this success. “We’ve participated in numerous groundbreaking IT projects across Africa. As an authorized distributor for Bitdefender in Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, we are proud to offer world-class solutions to businesses across the region. With over 200 years of combined experience on our team, we remain committed to helping businesses navigate today’s cybersecurity challenges.”
It is clear that Bitdefender and Kecam Technologies are not just partners but allies in the fight against cybercrime, delivering cutting-edge security solutions to businesses of all sizes. With Bitdefender’s recent recognition, their partnership is poised to continue making a profound impact on the cybersecurity landscape.
